This article shows you how to check the power usage in the task manager of Windows 10. The content is concise and easy to understand, which will definitely brighten your eyes. I hope you can get something through the detailed introduction of this article.

Win10's task manager now shows you the power usage of each process on the system. This feature is new in the October 2018 update.

How to view the power usage details of a process

First, open Task Manager by right-clicking the taskbar and selecting Task Manager or pressing Ctrl + Shift + Esc. If you do not see the complete Task Manager pane, click more details at the bottom.

This information is displayed in the processes pane, but is hidden by the small size of the window. Enlarge the window by clicking and dragging the corner until you see the Power usage and Power usage Trends columns, or scroll to the right. You can also drag and drop the title to rearrange the list of columns.

If you do not see these columns, right-click the title here and enable the Power usage and Power usage Trends columns.

If these options do not appear in the list, they have not been upgraded to the October 2018 update.

What do you mean by "power usage" and "power usage trend"?

Each process has a value under these columns. The Power usage column tells you how much power this process is using at this time, while the Power usage Trends column shows a long-term trend. You can click the column to sort by type using power.

For example, currently a process may not use too much power, but in general it may use a lot of power. Or, a process may be using a lot of power now, but it tends to use very little power. Follow the trend to better understand the power used by the process.

Unfortunately, Windows doesn't give an exact number here. It only gives you an overview of power usage, which should be "very low" for most processes on the system. If a process uses more power than this feature-especially if it is running in the background-you may need to exit the process to save battery power on your laptop or tablet.

Microsoft did not explain exactly what the words here mean. For example, we don't know the exact difference between "very low" and "low".

How to see which applications use the most functionality

To see which applications use the most battery power on your PC, go to Settings > system > Battery. Click here to see which applications will affect your battery life option.

The battery section is only available if you are using a laptop, tablet or other device with a battery. In any case, you don't need to see which applications use the power on the desktop PC without batteries.

This screen displays a list of applications that affect your battery life. You can choose to view electricity consumption in the past week, 24 hours, or 6 hours.

Even if the application is near the top of the list, it may not use a lot of functionality. This may just mean that you use the application frequently. For example, any Web browser you use may be at the top of the list because you use it too much. It uses a lot of battery power, even if it uses battery power effectively for a long time.

The above is how to check the power usage in the task manager of Windows 10. Have you learned any knowledge or skills? If you want to learn more skills or enrich your knowledge reserve, you are welcome to follow the industry information channel.
